Other reports state that the pregnancy was at 32 weeks.

And there is serious concern than if you accept the frequent flier miles then you are accepting payment for your services and therefore are forfeiting your claim to legal protection under Good Samaritan laws and can be sued. (I am an ER doc and seem to attract medical emergencies to my flights - I’ve never accepted…

My father was in this situation (not delivering a baby specifically, but providing emergency medical assistance on a flight) and he got a bunch of free miles from Delta. something in the ballpark of 25000 sounds about right in my memory

You don’t know that, and it’s kind of gross that you made the assumption. Pregnant women travel for all kinds of reasons.

Thank you for your life-saving service. Now here’s the equivalent of $59.

I’ve seen this happen. I was on an international flight with my mom (who is a doctor) when the captain asked if there was a doctor on board. She went up to the front of the plane where the medical emergency was, but she came back a couple of minutes later. I asked what happened, and she said, “There were so many…

Might get you from LA to SF. So generous.

I’m imagining the kid as an adult.

Hell, I’d be nervous too if I were her. For one, she’s a resident so she’s relatively inexperienced. Secondly, she is not OB/Gyn, so this is way outside of her typical wheelhouse. Thirdly, every doctor performing medicine in ad hoc situations like this has every right to be nervous because the risk of a lawsuit looms…

Agreed. But truly Carrie was the worst girlfriend, so they kind of deserved each other.

The finest microwaves.

Yeah I’m confused as to how they can sue for the right to basically defraud patients by roping them into services they don’t want and indoctrinating them with pro-life propaganda?

“I have deeply held religious beliefs that I need to be able to lie to all the patients!”

It’s L.A. It’s more surprising if a porn wasn’t shot in a particular location.

Bristol Palin is stupid. There, that sums up every single article ever to be written about her for the rest of her life.

Everyone is writing these well thought out, carefully crafted responses, and I’m over here like Bristol Palin can go eat a bowl of dicks.

She just doesn’t like that other teens are getting a chance to not become teen parents.

Ugh, I went to that foundations website, and its all about painting teen pregnancy as punishment for young women having sex. In its ‘facts’ tab it literally lists the fact that 8 out of 10 teen fathers don't marry their baby momma as one of the negative aspects of sex. Because forcing two 16 year olds to get married…

An honest and decent person, if they found themselves suddenly shocked by the idea that some middle-school children have to worry more than Bristol did about their sexual health, would be primarily concerned about *finding and arresting* the men who are raping and impregnating middle-school girls.

I am just amazed that anyone gives this person any notice at all. Her one claim to fame is Dancing with the Stars. Oh, and she has consistently spoken out against sex outside of marriage.
